I'm really not sure what you're getting at here, nor why you think the KKK is relevant to a discussion about H1Bs.


The US government and the KKK are both organizations that help people (by, e.g., funding scholarships) and also threaten people with violence for engaging in peaceful behavior, particularly economic competition.

I'm asking for a moral argument justifying the latter behavior.

Ok.

>and also threaten people with violence for engaging in peaceful behavior, particularly economic competition.

Absolutely. However, only one of them has a democratic mandate, habeas corpus and a guarantee of a fair legal trial by one's peers when engaging in said violence.

>I'm asking for a moral argument justifying the latter behavior.

Peaceful doesn't mean harmless.

Sheesh, Ayn Rand really did a number on you.
